While still overpaid, Deng has atleast started to look like the guy he was last season recently. Getting into double digits consistently with some rebounding and reasonable defense. I'm still much happier with having him on that contract than having tried to get Evan Turner or Kent Bazremore, 2 of the guys a lot of Lakers fans were clamoring for last offseason. Actually his stats in 11 games in december are fine, 10 and 5 on 47% FG and 36% from 3pt

euphronius posted:Boston fan insanity make Celtics Lakers special. Tho bay area fans are rapidly approaching Boston fans. The other thing is that the 80s were the second iteration of the Lakers/Celtics rivalry, after the 60s. I think that is a big part of why that seems to be stronger. But yeah, if we get Cavs/dubs part 3 this year, it would officially be a great rivalry

Crazy Ted posted:Beaten like hell but it's loving incredible that the Bulls hired Fred Hoiberg to run an up-tempo, perimeter-oriented offense and then gave him players like Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, and Michael Carter-Williams to run it. Well, they hired D'Antoni to run a pick and roll based offense with bigs who were theoretically great at it. Except they weren't and Nash died

When he was drafted, there wasn't much to separate him from the endless stream of lanky rear end bigman with athleticism. It could just as easily been Joe Alexander or one of the billion dudes the Warriors drafted who magically developed into the next LeBron

MourningView posted:I'm not sure anyone really knew what a game changer it was going to be at the time. It started in the ABA and was mostly seen as a weird gimmick for a long time. Teams didn't really start treating it like a legitimate weapon until like the mid-90s, and it really exploded after the Seven Seconds or Less Suns. That team was really the template for most modern offenses I'm really happy for D'Antoni that he has managed to end up coaching a team that actually has the right pieces for him after a few stints that didn't work out. I think I'm probably one the Lakers fans who is the most positive on him

Assuming none of the teams fighting for the 8th seed manage to play way better over the second half of the season, this will probably be the first season since 96-97 that a team will make the playoffs in the western conference with a sub-.500 record

The Lakers went 2-14 last month and somehow, they are still only 2 games back of the 8th seed. If they could figure out the droughts they have, they might actually make the playoffs, especially since Ingram is starting to consistently look like the guy at Duke last year

tanglewood1420 posted:Who is the worst current NBA player that would be an All-Star if you sent them back in time to 1964? I think someone like Greg Monroe or CJ Miles would be a top five player in the league back then. JJ Barea would probably be an All-NBA guard. Julius Randle seems tailor made to confuse the gently caress out of a 1960s defense Then again, he is basically Elgin Baylor but way worse, so maybe not

I wrote a big effort post on reddit about how 90s and early 2000s basketball, basically how guys like Kobe and Iverson are still all-timers despite how ineffecient they were compared to the current NBA, but mainly it just shows off how much better then NBA is to watch these daysquote:I feel like this is a lot like the recent question about Iverson vs Isaih Thomas. The 90s and early 2000s was a very different type of basketball from what is played nowadays. Court spacing PFs were rare, let alone spacing Centers. Games were played at a much lower pace, so players had less opportunities for transition baskets. Isolation was the main brand of basketball, so stars back then were expected to create shots by themselves and rarely through the motion of the offense. Pick and Rolls were rarer, and even then tended to be different from the where they get run nowadays. Shooters were worse in general (excluding the short 3pointer years). 15 years ago, 35% from deep was enough to be considered a 3pt specialist. Not in there, but also FTA/G are near an alltime low, the last 6 seasons are the bottom 6 seasons in FTA/G Also, Pace is no where near all-time highs, so don't worry about inflated stats, we are still 5 possession per game below the majority of the 80s, and 11 below the alltime high of the 73-74 season The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Jan 19, 2017 |

Rick posted:Lakers fans really don't need pity this year anyway. Maybe the Lakers fans who thought before the season this was a playoff team and after the first ten games, a home playoff team, because they're in massive meltdown mode at the moment. Or the ones who only have a single game memory and think Russell and Randle are the worst players on Earth now because they don't remember the Pistons game on Sunday. We might have actually needed some pity if Magic Johnson wasn't too busy to be the team's GM if you believe the latest Jeanie Buss gossip (which I don't but whatever), and thankfully he's endorsed the young players so Jim and Mitch still have some time. Yeah, this just about sums up my feelings as well. The Lakers have transitioned from a team desperate for any talent to a team that has hope one of their young players can blossom into a superstar. They have three guys who could, and a decent team around that. They play an entertaining brand of basketball, even if the game to game watchability is varying. I think we've also seen just how important Larry Nance is to the team, since the defense has gotten so much worse since he was injured, but he is finally going to be back this weekend.
